Listing notes

The ‌‌‍Brewery Bar opened in February 2015 as the taproom for Blackedge Brewing Company and sits directly above the brewery at Moreton Mill on Hampson Street, Horwich. It is a modern, industrial-feel room with low background music, seven hand-pulled cask ales off the award-winning brewery downstairs, ten craft keg lines, seven real ciders and a decent wine and spirits list, plus the biggest beer garden in Horwich. Dog- and child-friendly. The open mic runs on the second Thursday of each month, hosted by local musician Anthony Rowlands: bring your instrument and a beer, all abilities always welcome. Open Wednesday to Sunday, 4pm midweek and 1pm at the weekend.
